There is ALWAYS something going on in my workshop.. it's usually a mess but an "organized" mess..
 
This Aquarium was inspired by my husband's hobby of Marine Fish and the inevitable overflowing of salt water all over the family room rug.  So.. this piece will fit between the recroom and my workshop giving the recroom some natural lighting and some privacy to my boys when I'm in my workshop. 
 
There are just less than 400 pieces.... that are now all cut out...<sigh>
 
Next comes the cleaning and foiling process... then soldering.
 
Once that's done.. I am planning on putting a colored border of glass around it.. and zinc came before installing it in the window opening and reinforcing with a piece of plexiglass (cause my boys are only 10 and 12)!!!
 
I'll try to keep this updated so you can see my progress.. I started this project last winter... Jan 2002  Wish me Luck!
